Direct selling the way it's meant to be.

About us

Founded in 1959 by Peter O. Johnson, Madison-based Hy Cite has become one of the leaders and innovators in direct sales and marketing. Our direct selling success story began in Wisconsin, but by the 1970s, because of the popularity of our Royal Prestige® home cookware system, we began developing distributorships around the country. Our person-to-person approach remained the same, and as our company grew throughout the next three decades, so too did our network of distributors. Our Royal Prestige home cookware systems, air purification and water filtration systems, juice extraction systems, dinnerware, cutlery, and the newly-introduced OceanBlue™ cleaning system are all designed to enhance your lifestyle. But they're not available in stores. As it has been since Mr. Johnson began the company in 1959, our products are sold by individual authorized distributors who personally demonstrate the unique features of our household products directly to consumers in their homes. We believe this personal touch has been the basis for our decades of success. The popularity of our Royal Prestige line begins with the high quality of materials we use. Our cookware systems help promote healthy eating, and our air quality products help keep your home environment as healthy as possible. We feel so strongly about our quality that we offer a 50-year warranty on many of our products.

    Alex Campos, Global Vice President of Supply Chain at Hy Cite, offers his insight into the power of direct selling — a business model he believes thrives on meaningful relationships and the doors of opportunity it opens. Read on to discover his perspective.  ---------------------------------------- Direct selling at Hy Cite is all about opportunities and relationships.   That’s what makes the Hy Cite Direct Selling model so powerful—it creates endless possibilities for everyone involved.   For our Royal Prestige ® Independent Distributors, it’s about more than just running a business. It’s about: • Chasing the dream of being their own boss. • Balancing work and personal life while achieving financial success. • Knowing that their income is in their hands—it all depends on their focus and dedication. • Sharing the opportunity with others, helping them build something meaningful. • Earning recognition for their hard work and achievements.   For our Customers, it’s all about trust and connection: • Being introduced to premium products through someone they know and trust. • Accessing high-quality kitchenware with flexible financing options. • Bringing healthier cooking solutions to their families. • Sharing their experience and helping others discover the same benefits.   For me, working at Hy Cite has been an incredible opportunity as well. I’ve had the chance to be part of a company that truly believes in people—helping entrepreneurs succeed, supporting customers and employees and creating a cycle of prosperity that keeps growing. Seeing how lives change because of what we do is what keeps me inspired every day.   At the end of the day, it all comes down to people—helping each other, growing together, and creating success that multiplies. That’s the beauty of what we do. And that’s why I believe in this business model so much.

  • Last week, members of our Hy Cite team in Madison took part in a volunteer day with Centro Dane County, an organization with whom we’ve proudly shared a strong and lasting commitment for several years. CENTRO works tirelessly to expand access to the tools and strategies that empower Latino communities to grow and thrive — and we’re honored to support that mission. This time, our volunteers helped launch the season for CENTRO’s community garden. More than just a plot of land, the garden represents growth, unity, and hope — values that deeply resonate with us and reflect CENTRO’s purpose. Every moment shared that day created a lasting impact — one that reaches beyond the immediate and transforms into meaningful, lasting change. For us, every act of support and every opportunity for collaboration strengthens our dedication to building strong community connections and generating positive impact. To all of the Hy Cite volunteers — thank you for your time, your energy, and your dedication. We’re confident this experience also left a meaningful impression on you. And to CENTRO — thank you for your steadfast commitment to helping Latino families pursue their personal and professional goals, equipped with the tools they need to succeed. #HyCite #Community #Volunteers #Impact

    Every small action reminds us that when we come together, we can build a more empathetic, caring, and nurturing world. Through our partnership with World Vision, Hy Cite provided essential NutraEase cookware — helping to nourish not just meals, but also opportunities, dreams, and hope for a brighter future. We invite you to read Chrizeria story: Chrizeria, an 11-year-old girl from Shimputa village in Kapiri Mposhi with dreams of breaking the cycle of poverty through education, but attending Mpunde Secondary School, located over five kilometers away, has been challenging. The school’s weekly boarding system helps students stay focused, but coming from a vulnerable household, Chrizeria lacked basic necessities like cookware, forcing her and her classmates to share limited pots and plates, which made cooking time-consuming and left little time for studying. World Vision Zambia’s Gifts-In-Kind program provided cookware, transforming their daily struggles. With the new utensils, cooking became faster, giving Chrizeria and her peers more time to study, bond, and dream of a brighter future. This gift of time and opportunity has renewed their hope and determination to succeed. Written by Justine Njovu | World Vision Zambia Together, we can keep making a difference. #SocialImpact #Empathy #Community #Education #WorldVision

    Women have always been — and will continue to be — at the heart of the direct selling story. Jessica J. Marquez, Chief Legal Officer and Vice President at Hy Cite, shares her inspiring perspective on the powerful role women play in shaping our industry. Discover her vision. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In direct selling, leadership takes many forms—but it’s clear that women have long played a leading role in shaping its culture and direction. Their presence in the field isn’t just significant in numbers, but in the way they’ve helped shape the culture, the values, and the future of this industry. What makes this model truly special is how it allows people—especially women—to lead in ways that feel authentic, relational, and deeply connected to purpose. It’s a place where business meets passion, where relationships matter as much as results, and where leadership can be agile, empathetic, and inspiring. At the same time, this success doesn’t happen in isolation. One of the most powerful aspects of direct selling is the spirit of collaboration. While women have redefined what leadership can look like in this space, it’s the collective effort—across genders, roles, and backgrounds—that continues to move us forward. Together, we challenge old models, support each other’s growth, and co-create a future of work that is more inclusive, more human, and more connected. What I appreciate most about being part of Hy Cite is exactly that: we rise together. We share knowledge, celebrate wins, and create space where everyone can thrive It’s not just about individual success—it’s about building something greater, together. Women will always play a central role in the direct selling story. But the story is richer, stronger, and more impactful when we grow it in partnership—with everyone at the table. And I’m proud to be part of that journey. #HyCite #DirectSelling #Women #GreaterTogether
